Abstract

A server for a thin client network comprises a thin client network management and control module. The server also comprises a network interface mechanism which includes a broadband interface module and a narrowband emulation module inter-operable to provide a communications link to one or more thin client terminals on the thin client network. The management and control module is inter-operable with the network interface mechanism for providing a thin client network over a broadband network. Broadly speaking, the narrowband emulation module is superimposed on the broadband interface module to provide a network interface mechanism operable as an emulated narrowband interface. A thin client network implemented over a broadband network is also disclosed, together with a method for setting up and operating the same.
